USDA to Host Series of Webinars on Two New InflationReduction Act Programs to Advance Clean Energy Initiativesin Rural America
WASHINGTON, May 12, 2023 – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Under Secretary
of Rural Development Xochitl Torres Small today announced that USDA will host a series
of webinars on two new Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) programs. The Powering Affordable
Clean Energy (PACE) and Empowering Rural America (New ERA) programs are brand
new initiatives that will expand clean, affordable, and reliable energy in rural communities
(including U.S. territories and Compact of Freely Associated States).
USDA’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is launching these two programs under the IRA by
making nearly $11 billion in budget authority available in loans, grants, loan modifications,
and partially forgivable loans. This will help electrify rural America with clean, affordable,
reliable energy and enhance the quality of life in rural communities.
USDA staff will hold the webinars via Zoom at the following dates and times:

May 17, 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET

The Biden-Harris Administration championed the Inflation Reduction Act to help provide
new funding and unprecedented incentives to expand clean energy, transform rural power
production, create jobs, and spur new opportunities for the people of rural America. It is
the largest single investment in rural electrification since the Rural Electrification Act of
1936.
